Insects • Class Insecta

The continent of Australia has a unique depth of flora and fauna, not found anywhere else in the world. As well as the native flora and fauna, colonisation and modernisation has brought many plants and wildlife to Australia from around the world, some of which have done too well and have reached plague proportion, often threatening, if not having already wiped out various native species.

Followings is information and links on some of the insects to be found in Australia.

• The National Threatened Species Day is held on September 7th each year. First held in 1996, to commemorate the death of the last Tasmania Tiger in captivity in 1936 in Hobart, National Threatened Species Day aims to encourage the community to prevent further extinctions of Australia’s fauna and flora, and to restore healthy numbers of endangered species and ecological communities in the wild. September is also Biodiversity Month, a time when many Australians celebrate our unique and valuable biodiversity with activities to protect and conserve the environment. There is also the annual Habitat Awards.
